Viewing our work as being for the lord then , it is not just a nice , spiritual attitude to have. Scripture does not say, “You really may be working for s miserable slave master ( a low life) , in a dreary and demeaning task, but you should be more than grateful.”. ” Take a more positive attitude”

What is the caste system?
The caste system is like a religious social standing system wich means that the population is divided in higher and lower groups. The expression “caste” comes from the portugese word “casto” (=”pure“).
The four main castes (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vashaya and Shudra) are called “Varnas”, the Indian word for “colour”. The Varnas are split up in “Jati“. The Jati are subgroups of the castes, and depend on the profession of the people.
There is no social mobility in the caste system, because people mustn´t marry people of other castes. Hinduism believes in an eternal circle of rebirth which ends in the “Nirvana“, like our heaven or paradise. That means a Hindu has many lives and is reborn after death.
The “Dharma” (Karma) is his “account” of good and bad things he has done in this life. The more bad things he has done in this life the longer it will take to get to the Nirvana. His Dharma decides in which caste he will be born into in the next life. So the caste system is justified.
